    Has anyone heard that after the first of the year there will be a $7500.00 fee for those woth there own authority?

    I heard it a few months ago and didn't know if it was true or not.

    I heard independent owner-operators were going to have to pay $100 per inch of wheelbase and $50 per documented dyno HP yearly to support Obamacre.

    Awe now that isn't fair. I'm starting to regret buying a ground pounder. And there goes my dreams of a new turbo, Mr. Haney reworking my ECM and my can and manifold.

    I just can't afford to put down 1000+ to the street at $50/horse...

    That gives me an idea though. Wonder how much that would be in terms of squirrels and monkeys? Them people that run those tuner import cars always seem to have 3 squirrels and a monkey under the hood wonder if we can translate that over to get around this crap.:yes2557:

    Beginning Nov. 1, 2013 there is a $10,000 max fine for not filing a biennial update to your MCS 150. Nothing on a $7500 annual fee. Sounds like someone was pulling your leg.
     
    JPenn and Beethoven Thank this.

    My state I have to pay $50. to the SSC each year. That's the only annual fee I have for having my own authority.

    Well that is good news. I guess that's what I get for listening to people in truckstops.
